Asta: Maybe the bathroom?
As they talked amongst them selves other parents can be heard trying to call out their own missing children.
Rowan: Seems like you ain't the only one with people missing.
Ad everyone distracted with the voice of people Gauche shot another beem toward the two boys.

Rowan: [Ice Magic: Bone Chilling Flames]
*BOOM*
Rowan fist coverd in blue flames as the beem of magic and his fist collided Rowan pushed backwards couple of steps.
Rowan: Now... Gauche let's deal with the problems with kids first.
Asta: Yes! Get over it already!
Noelle then appeared, shivering.
Noelle: Snow falling out of nowhere at the time of year? That's insane!
Asta: Noelle!?
Noelle: I saw lots of children leave for the mountains all of the sudden a little while ago.
Rowan: Umm... what are you doing all the way out here anyways... Noelle?
Noelle: I.. I just happen to be passing through!
Rowan: '??' Right...
???: This Snow... I feel mana in it.
Turning around everyone saw sister Theresa and another nun walking toward them.
Sister Theresa: Many of our children were taken as well. Kidnapping children... what do they plan to do with them!?
After hearing Sister Theresa's words Gauche suddenly ran at her and grabbed her by the collar an speak in dark voice.
Gauche: What do you mean they're missing! Marie better not one of them!
Sister Theresa: Unfortunately, yes!
She shook her head.
After hearing her, Gauche's face darkened even more.
Gauche: OLD HAG! YOU WERE RIGHT THERE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?
Gauche was going to deliver a punch but Rowan grabbed his fist before it could make contact with Sister Theresa.
Gauche: Rowan... you little...!
Asta: Now, now Gauche, just calm down a little...
Gauche: Or what?
Rowan: Nothing much...
*BAAM*
Rowan delivered a powerful punch to the gut of Gauche, causing him to collapse to the floor.
Rowan: Now... did you feel little better!?
Gauche: That hurts, you lossy brat!
Asta: A Magic Knight... should always keep a cool head!
Rowan: *Serous* You can try to kill us later, we have other thing to worry about. We need to find the kids quickly before anything happens to them.
Holding his stomach, Gauche started to got up slowly.
Gauche: I have Marie Carey a Magic mirror with her everywhere. If I use the transmission spell that links us to look for the mana in the mirror, I'll be able to tell roughly where she is!
Rowan with a smile patted Gauche's shoulder.
Rowan: See, It's really works...
Sister Theresa: I'll go as well, we'll make them give back the children.
Asta: Sister granny! Just leave it to us.
Gauche: No, She's annoying, but that old hag pack some power.
Rowan: Let's not wait then...!
Rebecca: Rowan... Marco's dumb, and Luca has a stubborn streak. I'm worried... oh what will I do!? If anything happens to them...
After hearing her words, Rowan walks up to her and patted head lightly.
Seeing this Noelle's face turned red.
Noelle: 'It's seems nice... Aehhh!?'
Rowan: Don't worry, we'll bringing them back. I promise...
Rowan raise his hand and his broom comes flying towards him.
Rowan: You're coming Asta?
Asta: Of course!
Noelle: Wait! I'm coming too!
Gauche: You can't fly on your own right? Another person on Rowan's broom will slow him down, and I'm not taking you. The towan still get attacked. You stay here and protect it.
Rowan: We'll try to back as fast as we can, make sure to report this to the Magic Knights.
After that, Sister Theresa, Asta, Gauche and Rowan flew off towards Marie's location. Hoping that the other children will be there as well.
Gauche: I'm picking up mana from over there !
He pointed toward a cave that was surrounded was by snow.
Sister Theresa: Then the kidnapped children are in those cave!?
Asta: Hey! What's that dowan there!
Asta shouted and pointed to what looked like a small child laying in the snow. Diving dowan with there following behind them the three of them gathered around the small child's figure.
Rowan: Marco!
Rowan's eyes went wide when he saw the figure laying motionless.
Rowan: He's freezing... We need to get to get him warm.
Asta: Hey! Marco!
Sister Theresa: It's no use. He's under a spell and his mind isn't here!
Rowan: spell.... Asta, your sword.
Asta: Right!
Asta's summoned his Demon Slayer sword and taps Marco's head with the handle of his sword, dispelling the spell that controlled him.
Rowan: Look like it worked... you alright Marco?
Marco: Owww!
Sister Theresa: Wait just a moment!
[Flame Recovery Magic: Sacred Healing
Light]
Marco: It's so warm...
Sister Theresa: ' Incredible... did that boy just dispelled the magic!?'
Rowan: Marco, we're going to get your sister alright, you think you can wait in that cave by yourself do bit?
Marco grabbed Rowan's foot and started to sobbing.
Marco: No! I'm scared, Rowan! Stay with me!
Rowan: You don't me Marco, you're strong aren't you? You know what, here, my Black Bulls robe, only the strongest get to wear it. Think you can be strong for me?
Marco: uh-huh!
He Look at the Rowan's robe and nodded.
Rowan: Good, we'll be back later.
Rowan: Good, well be back later.
Rowan rubbed the top of his head before they dive deeper into the cave, As they got deeper into cave, Rowan sensed multiple mana signatures.
Rowan: I can sense Gauche's mana. I think he's fighting someone. We need to hurry!
------------------
Gauche was fighting the one's responsible for kidnapping the children.
A slander boy with white hair 'Neige' and his brother a large man with long black hair 'Baro', were his opponent.
Gauche: [MirrorMagic: Reflect Refrain]
Gauche used his mirror magic to destroy Neige's snowman creations in one attack.
Gauche: Time for masker massacre!
Neige: My friends! That man is so strong! What should I do brother?
Baro: Shaddup, snowpack! Use your brain for a change!
Baro then heard a cry from behind, only to appears a loud thud as Rowan, Asta and Sister Theresa appeared.
Rowan looked around and noticed the bodies of the children, their magic drained.
Sister Theresa: Thus children... their magic's been extracted!? They may never... be able to use magic again.
Asta: How could you do something that horrible!?
Baron scanned Asta with his glasses, which allowed him to see how much mana a person had.
Baro: Huh? This guy's... Gweh ha ha ha ha! What's with you've got bo magic! Zip! Zilch! Nada! Two bit punk like you joined the magic knights! I'll take you out with my-
Baro then turned to look at Rowan. He was caught off guard by the large amount of magic power that he was building up. Rowan's magic was so immense that it managed to break his glasses.
Baro: How the hell! His magic is off the cart!
Rowan: What you did to these kids is unforgivable...
Rowan's eyes flashed bright blue as he lift his gaze to look at Baro.
Rowan: [Moonblade]
Passing the unconscious children laying on the ground, Rowan's sword was surrounded in black-purplle glow as he flashed forward and arrived in front of Black haired man.
The man's eyes went wide as he stumbled backward.
Throwing his fist with his sword's handle forward, Rowan slammed it into the man's face and watched as his figure was thrown backwards crashing into the the cave wall and causing some rubble to crush him.
Baro: GYAAHHHHH!!
Neige: Brother!
At the same time gauche and Asta combined forces to take out Neige and his summons. Gauche send a blast toward Neige sending him flying.
Baro: What's Neige doing? That guy's completely useless blasted-
Rowan dashed towards him and grabs Baro's shirt and lifts him up from tne ground.
Rowan: Be quiet, You don't even know what the hell you did to these kids.
Baro: What do I care moron! It don't matter to me whether others die or lose their magic.
Rowan: You're still talking that much!? That's fine, not for long.
Rowan prepared another punch for Baro as Sister Theresa's voice came from behind.
Sister Theresa: Nevever mind him... a man like that isn't even worth striking with your fist. We have to do something about the children....
Rowan let Baro go, leaving him to gasp air.
Asta then started to running around the kids, touching their heads with the handle of sword to remove the effect of the spell casted on them.
